In addition to politics and ideology, I think it is mainly because of the difference between the rich and the poor.
There is a chasm between Chinese and native Indonesians. There are hundreds of ethnic groups in Indonesia, but it is said that in the Suharto era, only Chinese people needed to mark themselves as Chinese on their ID cards. As I understand it, this is the same as when the Nazis ruled Germany, the Jews wore the six-pointed star mark.
Why discriminate against Chinese?
In addition to the reasons mentioned in the movie, on the other hand, in Indonesia, many Chinese are very rich, while Peranakan Indonesians (including Javanese, Sundanese, etc.) are relatively poor. Generally, it is because the Chinese are more industrious, have long-term plans, and can save money; the native Indonesians are lazy and do not like to save, so they spend some money, or buy a motorcycle by loan or installment.
If one ethnic group is generally rich and other ethnic groups are relatively poor, there will definitely be problems over time.
Although Indonesian Chinese-language media often report on this, calling for the peaceful coexistence of all ethnic groups in accordance with the provisions of the Indonesian Constitution, of course, this is only a report from a Chinese-language newspaper. As for what Indonesia's largest newspaper, the Compass News, thinks about this matter, then I will not Got it. However, according to the news media's spirit of "making up for what is missing", this is probably useless.

So will the native Indonesians repent of their killing of the Chinese?
Ha ha.
When the Chinese were killed in 1965, when the Chinese were killed in 1998, the Indonesian government coaxed them together, and the local Indonesians went to fuck you together, everyone went together, the benefits of killing the Chinese were huge, robbing money, food, and women, and by the way, they took away their pink eye disease. Temporarily cured. The Chinese themselves have economic status, but not political status. Finally, a Zhong Wanxue came out and was put in prison. I know some Chinese who have experienced these two Tuhuas. I remember a rich Chinese who once chatted with him about 1998. He said that at that time our family hid in the neighbor's house and dared not go out, and Army shot in the street. . . Saying this, I closed my eyes.
Others say that in the past, China was poor, but now China is rich and has an aircraft carrier, and there will be no such thing anymore.
It seems to be 2017, when I went out once, the Indonesian driver who was driving said something:
"Why are the owners of big companies Chinese, and the owners of small shops Chinese?"
After hearing this, I was really in a cold sweat.
It seems that someone has said that the Great Revolution will end in due time, but it will come again every seven or eight years.
